DUBLIN 6:€795,000 An early Edwardian terraced house at 23 Brighton Gardens, tucked away off Rathgar's Brighton Road, has some lovely original features and is in a first rate location, writes Alanna Gallagher.

THE TERRACE is equidistant from both Terenure and Rathgar villages which is the reason the current owners, who have been here for almost 20 years, have continuously put off moving.

The house has some lovely period features, such as stained glass panels in the front door, high ceilings and original floorboards.

The house is 84sq m (904sq ft) in size and is for sale by private treaty for €795,000 through Gunne.

Downstairs there is a lounge to the front which has a bay window and original marble fireplace. It connects to the diningroom which looks out onto the back garden.

A galley kitchen to the rear opens onto a paved, L-shaped south-west facing garden that is city-size but immensely private thanks to high hedging.

The house has three bedrooms, two doubles on the first floor and a lovely old fashioned box room, on the first floor return next to the small family bathroom which has a half-bath.

The main bedroom to the front spans the width of the house and has built-in wardrobes and twin windows.

The attic is on the verge of conversion - it has a Velux, flooring and storage built under the eaves but it doesn't have stair access yet.
